Dao Of The Salted FishCh85 - Honest marriage

The next morning, Sun Fuyu helped attach the jade pendant so that it hung off Wen-ge’s waist, and he tied his own too. He also arranged Wen-ge’s hair into the golden hair crown, and adjusted the right lapel so that the robes fell neatly.

Wen Zhihao stood dociley throughout, a little chagrined about his usual way of dress. His excuse was that the original owner’s memories were hazy, so he didn’t know exactly how to wear hanfu! There were just so many fiddly bits… PH72rk

After Sun Fuyu was finished, he looked at Wen-ge with shining eyes. “Handsome!”

Wen Zhihao immediately shook his head. “No, Xiao Yu is handsome!”

Sun Fuyu lowered his head bashfully. He reached out and held Wen-ge’s hand.

The children were very smart and had gotten ready by themselves, and had already climbed into the flying cart. Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu sat at the front, and took the children to the kitchen. yf UzK

Sun Fuyu walked alongside Wen-ge with his head held high. Xiao Bai, walking alongside Wen Zhihao, couldn’t help but look at the jade cats hanging from his Uncle Wen’s waist.

“A good morning?” Aunty Liu asked warmly.

Wen Zhihao grinned. “Look at our matching jade pendants! Xiao Yu gifted them!”

Aunty Liu’s eyes narrowed slightly. That look was quickly replaced with a smile at Sun Fuyu. “Xiao Yu, they look lovely.”

“Very beautiful!”

“How cute and adorable!”

“Ahh, Xiao Fuyu, they’re very romantic!”

Sun Fuyu beamed brighter as Aunty Liu Jing and the other kitchen staff praised the matching jade pendants. GjmcXU


While Wen Zhihao was eating, Aunty Liu Jing unceremoniously dragged Wen Zhihao to a private corner, while telling Sun Fuyu to stay put.

“Don’t worry, Xiao Fuyu, I just need to speak with your Wen-ge briefly,” Aunty Liu said kindly to Sun Fuyu, before pulling Wen Zhihao away.

“No, that isn’t what I meant. While I know that you cultivators form Dao companionships and have dual cultivation, I would prefer to see you honestly marry my son, Xiao Fuyu. You are, aren’t you?”

Wen Zhihao blinked. Dual cultivation! Ah, I forgot about dual cultivation! What is dual cultivation in this world? Wait, what else was it that Aunty Liu said—

Marry?” Wen Zhihao suddenly had visions of all the planning involved to pull off a wedding, all the formal rituals and processes, and the cost it took…And this was an Ancient China style world! So the rituals would be different! Oq7ypg

Aunty Liu crossed her arms. “Don’t even joke.”

“I really don’t know, Aunty.” All that work…

Then Wen Zhihao smiled slightly. “But I’m sure Sun Fuyu would like any happy event. It would be exactly the same as a birthday dinner party, except Sun Fuyu and I are wearing red clothing…” FZJWvV

Aunty Liu’s forehead throbbed. Don’t think she didn’t know what Wen Zhihao was trying to do! “As your aunty, I will make most of the preparations.”

Wen Zhihao grinned. “I’m sure Xiao Yu would be relieved to know that the wedding is in your capable hands. I still have some money to finance the preparations.” To show his sincerity, Wen Zhihao immediately handed over the leftover mortal money from that ridiculous stack of silver banknotes Cheng Yahui had given him over a month ago.

Aunty Liu accepted the money. “I’ll need your eight characters.”

“…I don’t know.” Wen Zhihao apologetically clasped his hands together. “We don’t need them anyway, since Aunty Liu agrees to the marriage, yes? Can Aunty Liu let me go back to eating again? Look, I think Xiao Yu is starting to get anxious!” g6Ku98

“…”

Liu Jing’s momentary sadness at the reminder that Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu didn’t have biological parents was quickly wiped away by Xiao Wen’s cheekiness.

After the morning school run, Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu went to visit Sword Crafter Lin Jixuan, who had a large workshop at the edge of the sect.

Lin Jixuan’s defensive arrays alerted her of the visitors. She placed a half-forged sword into a time-stop array and grumpily stomped out to meet them, not even bothering to take off her thick apron.

“You’re the one that Huang Jialing sent?” Lin Jixuan asked. Without giving them time to answer, she continued, “Sword. Payment.”

Sun Fuyu respectfully presented his sword with two hands, while Wen Zhihao passed over his old spatial ring filled with spiritual stones. MIZhd6

Lin Jixuan transferred the pile of stones without emotion. Her lips pursed as she examined Sun Fuyu’s sword, and then examined Sun Fuyu himself.

“You shouldn’t have left it so long before upgrading,” she said. “Don’t leave it so long next time, understand? Come back next week.”

With that, she closed the door on them and headed back to her forge.

Sun Fuyu lingered as his sword went further and further away from him. But he could feel that his sword was respectful of Senior Lin Jixuan, even if it was a tiny bit scared. He took a deep breath and decisively turned away. His sword would be fine. iAESBp

“Wen-ge, can I borrow your sword again?”

“Of course.”

Wen-ge’s sword sleepily greeted Sun Fuyu, though it slowly woke up some more when Sun Fuyu attached it to his waist. “What does Wen-ge want to do? I’ll follow!”

With his sword now in Lin Jixuan’s hands, Sun Fuyu couldn’t go on any missions. With Wen-ge’s sword in his hands, he needed to accompany Wen-ge in order to protect him! yjAgUd

Ah, Wen Zhihao thought. This is awkward… “Let’s go to the library.”

“The Outer Sect one or the Inner Sect one?”

“The…Inner Sect one? Xiao Yu would have to lead.”—Since Wen Zhihao didn’t even know there was an Inner Sect Library, let alone its location.

Sun Fuyu nodded seriously. “En, then let’s go.” He reached out and took Wen-ge’s hand. “What does Wen-ge want to find in the library? I’ll help!” qm9TFQ

Wen Zhihao coughed. “I want to research something…”

“Mn?”

Sun Fuyu’s gaze was bright and open; he looked so eager to help Wen Zhihao.

Wen Zhihao inwardly sighed. Aiya, aiya, I should be honest too…But he couldn’t just say that he had no idea what dual cultivation was (in this world)… ivGOQV

“I want to research about different methods of dual cultivation,” Wen Zhihao said. There had to be more than one way, right?

“!!!”

Sun Fuyu’s eyes widened. Wen-ge wants to read about different dual cultivation methods? He’s holding my hand! He wants to dual cultivate too?

A fire ignited in Sun Fuyu’s eyes. “Come on, Wen-ge, the library is this way!” 8D1nGg

 

 


Mini rec corner!

Lately, I’ve read some action-adventure style BL: B8Dath

  • Black Saint is My Stalker : modern-inspired urban fantasy-ish, the main character is half human half demon! And the action/fight scenes are great!! Also good for thirsty readers more so than this salted fish story :^)
  • Salvation of the Scum Fifth Prince : transmigration into one of those European style novels (that reads a lot like Japanese style European royalty fantasy), the main character…came from an apocalypse world. I find it really cool when an apocalypse-setting character transmigrates to a different setting. The MC has an aura that he is oblivious to like Wen Zhihao….except his aura is the opposite of nice 🤣🤣

Reading them makes me want to write an action/adventure/magic/fantasy BL next instead of my other great idea hahaha *author proceeds to laugh and then cry*

  1. Lmao Sun Fuyu😭✋ Ah i can’t wait for the wedding!!

    Also, a few minutes ago and in my notifications this chapter was put as prologue and i was SUPER confused💀 I was about to comment on it but then i refreshed and it was chapter 85 xDTy for the chapter!💜💜💜

  2. Sorry haven’t been commenting on the chapters lately, I’ve been lazy. I have a question actually, do spiritual cultivators exist in this novel, as when plants, animals and natural things cultivate for long enough and under certain condition, transform or obtain a human form? Cause I could totally see Wen Zhihao creating the perfect environment to nourish plants and animals to turn them into spirit cultivators. Considering he already accidentally turned normal fruit trees into spirit trees, because of his qi. Thanks for the Chapter~~*

  3. Wen Zhihao: “So, bed-”

    Sun Fuyu: “Yes bed!”

    Wen Zhihao: ‘It’s not what I’m trying to say, but if you happy~’

    thanks for the chapter~

  4. I just read all translated chapters of Salvation of the Scum Fifth Prince and now I want moreeeee. Why does it always end on a cliffhanger?

    Thanks for the chapter and the recommendations.

  5. Xiao Yu darling, your Mom (Aunt Liu) tries so hard to keep your chrysanthemum safe, but you’ve already given it to your Wen-ge in a boquet

    Thanks for the update (´∀`)♡

  6. Thanks for the chapter! Finally, they are getting married! Which makes sense since everyone knows that they are Dao companions…

    • 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 technically it’s a mortal marriage and not a cultivatist kind of thing, but yes, “finally” 🤣🤣🤣 They actually got together pretty ‘quickly’ 🤣

  7. Ahh thanks for recommending the salvation of the scum fifth prince , i just caught up to the latest chapter , author’s taste is really great 👍.

    And in regards with our salted fish hihi the event we’ve been waiting for , the honey- i mean the wedding kekeke

    Also “I wish you a long and happy life, and that you give birth to a son soon.” from GunGun

  8. A fire ignited in Sun Fuyu’s eyes – Author-Sama, I want a fire to ignite in this salted fish’s mind QAQ.

    He makes me want to punch him with a plastic bat (Not steel because I like him {Don’t worry Sun Fuyu, I don’t like him like you – I am trying to explore your relationship here})

    Thanks for the chapter!!

  9. AHHH I’m getting teased by all that dual cultivation talk but I only have a tiny hope that it will actually happen .・゚゚・(/ω\)・゚゚・.

    I have the black saint in my reading list but I’m stacking chapters hehe will check the other story you recommend! Thanks for the chapter author-sama it was so sweet 💕

  10. I kinda think their sect’s library won’t have a dual cultivation manual and if it does it’d be a think text book with overly complicated instruction and rules >.> to keep the kids from going for it instead of normal cultivation cuz you know rightous sects are kinda staern about this sort of stuff and they’d probably find a better one at a random brothel or ask sheng and his not rightious sect.

    Which he does find is caught be a certain friend as sheng is blushing while secretly passing over manuals. Which he wonders why he didnt hide the cover with a normal fake cover before handing em over. And then the question comes, did he read those manuals 1st before giving em to zhihao?

    Joyfully imagines all the 1st and 2nd hand embarassments \o/

  11. “Sun Fuyu beamed brighter as Aunty Liu Jing and the other kitchen staff praised the matching jade pendants.” i imagine it being cherry red 😂

    ahhhhh weddinggggggg 🎉🎉🎉

    thank you for the chapter ♥

  12. Lol, I fully recommend doing some research before jumping in. That poor librarian is going to think they’re looking for porn 🤣 Thanks for the chapter!

    Also, thanks for the recs! If you’re in an action adventure mood, I’m currently reading “Surprise! The Supposed Talent Show Was Actually–?!” here in CG. Its been a lot of fun so far.

  13. Thanks for the chapter! OH MY! Passionate cutie switch ON!! 😂 The dual cultivation just lit the fire! & finally someone sensible convinced the lazy fish to have a wedding & reassure a young sweetie! He’ll fly or dance he’ll be so happy to have his ge all his!

  14. OH… fufufu… al fin el hermano Wen se ha iluminado y quiere comenzar a prepararse para comer carne o ser comido 😏🤭.

    Sobre eso… no me imagino a Wen-ge de gong… motivo… mucha acción para alguien tan… relajado jajajaja, aunque el uke lleva después todo el cansancio, tos tos… mi mente está amarilla…. tos tos…

    Uhm, en verdad muchas veces siento que Wen He es un buda, sino fuera porque su deseo es descansar y comer… ya es un buda, sin contar su inexistente deseo en… tos tos cultivo dual… 😏…

    Quiero la boda… espero que sea hermosa.

    muchas gracias autor!!!

  15. Why don’t you try adding some of those action themes and stuff into this story? It could help with the world building and character development. Just an idea 😁 …. Although probably a late one tbh 😂🙈😂🙈

  16. *Quietly tiptoes after them to the library to try and sneak an unobtrusive peek over their shoulders when they research dual cultivation methods… *
